PENSACOLA, Fla. – On another picture-perfect day from the Ralph "Skeeter" Carson Tennis Complex, the West Florida Men's Tennis team took down Xavier University of Louisiana 5-2 to close out the weekend.  After falling on Friday to Keiser, the Argos showed out during today's match against another NAIA powerhouse getting great efforts from the lower portion of the lineup to propel UWF to victory.

It was yet another great day in doubles for the Argonauts as they picked up wins from the number two and three positions to secure the lone point and head into singles play with the advantage.

Serdar Bojadjiev and Lluis Miralles Miro teamed up once again from the No. 2 position and picked up another win as pair defeating Xavier's representatives 6-2 in their match. Nicolas Lecoutre and William Shkrob pulled out another thrilling doubles win coming out with a 7-5 victory from the No. 3 position. Salvador Bandeira and Gabriel Nery picked up their first loss on the year falling 4-6 from the No. 1 position before the lone point was secured for the Argos.
